Hello and welcome.
To check ABS is working.
Find a nice emptry stretch of road. Accelerate to 60.
Slam on the anchors hard.
You will feel ABS kick in.
If you do need a new unit - I would suggest a breakers yard ( at least one on here ) - much cheaper than Honda.

If the ABS light is on then it's not working.
Most likely to be one of the sensors on the hubs, i had this problem after my geo was done, alot of fecking about and a new sensor later the problem was sorted.
I know of at least 4 members who have had failed ABS sensors, i would be surprised if you need a new ABS control unit but you never know.

Get hold of the workshop manual and test each one

thanks for the help, contacted Honda and they have agreed to replace the control unit free of charge (i pay for labour only) as they have never had a unit go - due in this week so lets see if it works
